Wow. How does this qualify as a "scrap"?!?! Very, very nice!

Hey, thanks!

It qualifies as a scrap 'cause I did it fast and didn't polish it hardly at all. In retrospect, maybe it came out a little better than I thought, but still, it feels more like a study than a finished piece.

Thank you! It usually takes me forever to draw, so trying to do something this quickly is quite a stretch for me. I'm really glad you liked it.

Thank you! I'm not usually one for quick sketches, but I was tired when I did this one and didn't have the patience to block it out properly. So I'm very glad you liked it.

Thanks! I was happy with it because I thought the proportions came out okay, even though I only checked a few relative measurements (like making sure that the distance from nose to ear was about the same as eyes to mouth, etc.) rather than doing any kind of elaborate blocking.
